cabana the big is a ribald, post-apocalyptic tale of a new world order set up by businessman harold galloway, as documented by narrator Slim Reggie Canuck, galloway's chosen chronicler. The novel's protagonist, henry morgan, is a former physician who now rides with the big eight (galloway's version of The Magnificent Seven). Presiding over the big eight is the phallic minotaur-in-a-Stetson, cabana the big. Slim Reggie Canuck's hilarious, graphic narration makes cabana the big a cautionary allegory about the end of the Twenty-first Century. About the Author: Ron Charach is a Toronto psychiatrist and the author of nine collections of poetry, most recently Selected Portraits (2007) and Forgetting the Holocaust (2011). His poems and essays have appeared in most Canadian literary and medical/psychiatric journals. |
